Snow Leopard

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! I spent the day relaxing, eating way too much banana-nut bread, watching a plethora of cheesy Christmas movies, and spending time with my wonderful family.  What a beautiful and sunny day it was too after what seemed like weeks of torrential downpours.  I am currently on the way to spend the weekend in one of my favorite places, Hilton Head Island, in South Carolina.  If you’ve never been, it is the most beautiful, tranquil, gorgeously landscaped, and favorite island I’ve been to.  It’s so peaceful but there is still so much to do!  The food is one of my favorite parts… fried green tomato BLT’s, shrimp and grits, the best sweet tea. I’m looking forward to getting a bite to eat at my favorite spot, A Lowcountry Backyard. It is a bit of a trek getting down there (almost 5 hours) but it is totally worth it! This Saturday, my boyfriend, TJ, and I will have been together for 5 years!  We’ll be celebrating not only 5 happy years together but also my new job I’ll be starting in January! I am THRILLED!! Anyways, feel free to follow along on instagram for some weekend photos of our trip.

 Today, I’ve also shared a winter look with this snow leopard fur vest you can get for under $40.  I found it at Steinmart a while back but could only find it online at Sears out of all places?! It is honestly a really great quality vest.  It is thick, has big warm pockets, and is gorgeous.  Paired with a mint oxford shirt, it’s a refreshing and casual outfit you can wear just about anywhere! Shout-out to my little sister, Alex, for braiding my hair that day.  She has done about 12 different hair styles on me since I’ve been home for Christmas.  If only I knew how to braid my own hair.  We’re also lucky to live a few minutes down the road from the lovely Fearrington Village where we visited some “oreo cows”.  I included a few pictures above of our cow friend.  Anyways, I hope you all have a great post-Christmas weekend!
